Happy Easter to all. This one is by Edward Runci, with some help
And, yes, bunnies really have nothing to do with what is considered the most Holy of days to Christians, but having a patriotic Jesus would have seemed, well, blasphemous, as well as just plain wrong.
Easter Sunday is the Resurrection Day of Jesus. Much of what people do during Easter is based on pagen activities, such as an egg hunt, and the bunny, which have been incorporated into Easter weekend. I suggest that you hunt around the ‘net or ask around if you really want to know more. Just a small excerpt from Matthew 28
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Read the entire passage.
